Job 31
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1I made a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?
1U A hana au i berita me kuu mau maka; A no ke aha la au e nana aku ai i ke kaikamahine?
2For what would be the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
2A heaha ka haawina a ke Akua mai luna mai? Heaha hoi ka hooilina a ka Mea mana mai kahi kiekie mai?
3Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?
3Aole anei he make no ka poe pono ole? A me ka luku no ka poe hana hewa?
4Doth not He see my ways, and count all my steps?
4Aole anei ia i ike i ko'u mau aoao, A i helu hoi i kuu mau kapuwai a pau?
5If I have walked with vanity, and my foot hath hasted to deceit —
5Ina ua hele au ma ka wahahee, Ina ua lalelale kuu wawae i ka hoopunipuni;
6Let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know mine integrity —
6E kaupaonaia au ma ke kaupaona pono, I ike ai ke Akua i kuu oiaio.
7If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to my hands;
7Ina ua kapae kuu hele ana mai ke ala aku, A ua hele kuu naau mamuli o ko'u mau maka, Ina ua pili ke kina i kuu mau lima;
8Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
8Alaila e lulu no au, a na hai e ai; A e uhukiia kuu mea ulu.
9If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbour's door;
9Ina ua hoowalewaleia ko'u naau e ka wahine, Ina ua hoohalua au ma ka puka o ko'u hoalauna;
10Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
10Alaila e kaapalaoa ka'u wahine na hai, A e kulou na mea e maluna ona.
11For that were a heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
11No ka mea, he hewa nui no ia, A he lawehala no ia imua o na lunakanawai.
12For it is a fire that consumeth unto destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
12No ka mea, he ahi ia e hoopau ana, a i ka make, A e uhuki no ia i ka'u mea loaa a pau.
13If I did despise the cause of my man-servant, or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me —
13Ina ua hoowahawaha au i ka hoopono ana i ka'u kauwakane a me ka'u kauwawahine, Ia lakou i hoopaapaa pu ai me au;
14What then shall I do when God riseth up? And when He remembereth, what shall I answer Him?
14Heaha ka'u e hana aku ai ke ku mai ke Akua? A ke hookolokolo mai ia, heaha ka'u e olelo aku ai ia ia?
15Did not He that made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?
15Aole anei ka mea nana au i hana iloko o ka opu i hana hoi ia ia? I hana hoi oia ia maua iloko o ka opu hookahi?
16If I have withheld aught that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
16Ina ua hoole au i ka makemake o ka poe ilihune, A ua hoonawaliwali i na maka o ka wahinekanemake;
17Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof —
17A ina ua ai au i ka'u wahi ai iki, owau wale no, A i ai ole hoi ka mea makua ole ia mea;
18Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have been her guide from my mother's womb.
18(No ka mea, mai kuu wa opio mai, ua ulu pu ia me au me he makuakane la, A mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine ua alakai au ia ia:)
19If I have seen any wanderer in want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;
19Ina ua ike au i ka mea e make ana i ke kapa ole, A i ka mea ilihune me ka mea uhi ole;
20If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
20Ina ua hoomaikai ole kona puhaka ia'u, A ua pumahana ole ia i ka hulu o ka'u poe hipa;
21If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;
21Ina ua kau aku au i kuu lima maluna o ka mea makua ole, I ka manawa a'u i ike ai i kuu kokua ma ka ipuka:
22Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
22Alaila e haule iho kuu lima mai ka poohiwi aku, A e haki kuu lima mai ka iwi poohiwi aku.
23For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of His majesty I could do nothing.
23No ka mea, he mea weliweli ia'u ka hoopai ana o ke Akua, A no kona kiekie aole loa au i hoomanawanui.
24If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold: 'Thou art my confidence';
24Ina ua hoonoho au i ke gula i mea e lana'i kuu manao, Ina olelo aku au i ke gula maikai, Oia kuu mea e palele ai;
25If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
25Ina ua olioli au no ka nui o kuu waiwai, A no ka mea nui a kuu lima i loaa'i;
26If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
26Ina ua ike au i ka la i kona lilelile ana, A i ka mahina i kona hele aiai ana;
27And my heart hath been secretly enticed, and my mouth hath kissed my hand;
27A ua hoowalewale malu ia ko'u naau, I honi ai kuu lima i kuu waha;
28This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have lied to God that is above.
28He hewa no hoi ia i ka lunakanawai; No ka mea, ua hoole aku au i ke Akua maluna.
29If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or exulted when evil found him —
29Ina ua olioli au i ka make ana o ka mea inaina mai ia'u, A ua hauoli au i ka loaa ana o ka hewa ia ia:
30Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse.
30Aole! aole au i ae aku i kuu waha e hana hewa, Ma ke noi aku i ka hooino maluna o kona uhane.
31If the men of my tent said not: 'Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat?'
31Ina i olelo ole mai na kanaka o kuu halelewa, Ina e loaa ia makou kona io! aole makou e maona.
32The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.
32Aole i moe mawaho ka malihini, Ua wehe ae no au i ko'u puka no ka mea hele.
33If after the manner of men I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom —
33Ina ua uhi au i kuu hala e like me ka ke kanaka, I ka huna ana i kuu hewa iloko o kuu poli;
34Because I feared the great multitude, and the most contemptible among families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door.
34Alaila e hoohilahilaia au imua o ka aha nui, A na ka wahawaha o na ohana e hooweliweli ia'u, A noho malie no au, a hele ole iwaho o ka puka.
35Oh that I had one to hear me! — Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me — and that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
35Ina hoi e hoolohe mai kela ia'u! Eia hoi kuu hoailona, e ekemu mai ka Mea mana ia'u! A e kakau kuu enemi i ka palapala hoopii!
36Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown.
36He oiaio e kau aku au ia mea maluna o ko'u poohiwi, E nakii au ia me he leialii la maluna o'u.
37I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
37E hai aku hoi au ia ia i ka heluna o kuu mau kapuwai; Me he alii la, e hookokoke aku au ia ia.
38If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together;
38Ina e uwe kuu aina no'u, A o na auwaha hoi ona e kanikau mai;
39If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the tillers thereof to be disappointed —
39Ina ua ai au i kona hua me ke kala ole, A ua hoomake paha i na haku ona;
40Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and noisome weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
40E hoouluia ka laau oioi no ka palaoa, A o ka zizania no ka bale. Ua pau ka olelo a Ioba.
